The History of Acres 4 Dogs
In 2007, we began with a small dog grooming, retail, and doggy day care business in Barnes, South West London. It didn’t take long for us to discover that our true passion was doggy day care.
In 2010, founders David and Ian opened Acres 4 Dogs, a dedicated daycare service set on our beautiful private acreage, offering home collection for dogs and pups of South West London. Initially serving the areas of Barnes, East Sheen, and Putney (our home patch!), we quickly expanded into Wimbledon and beyond. Fast forward to today, and our fleet of fun buses now picks up from homes across much South West London and Surrey, providing an exceptional day out for our lucky dogs and pups.
While much has changed over the years, Ian and David remain at the helm, supported by a fantastic management team and the best dog care team in the industry.
